DEPENDING ON THE LORD

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your continued blessings.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” If it were not for your love, grace, and mercy, they would not be able to withstand their downs in life. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not go right, they focus on the experience and lessons learned. Instead of focusing on negativity, they understand that they have to learn to take the bad with the good because nothing in life is perfect.

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to allow their circumstances to dictate their walk in life, or they can give all their worries to you, readjust their mindset, and push forward knowing that you will never forsake them nor allow them to become overly burdened by things or situations that they have no control over.

Help them to further understand that you are a constant in their lives. Therefore, keep depending on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

DEPENDING ON GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they know that they are covered by you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your unconditional love.

They know that with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, no weapons formed against them will prosper. They know that you have all the power to demolish strongholds, uplift the spiritually depleted, and protect those who have been led astray by the devil.

Father, help everyone to depend on you for all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and pain endured. Moreover, help them all to depend on you during both their good and bad experiences.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

ARE YOU ALIGNED WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because of your gift of life. Because of you, they have another opportunity to get it right in accordance with your holy word. They confess their sins and pray for your divine intervention, direction, protection, guidance, peace, and joy. They understand that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body and are able to confess their sins, repent, be baptized, and put forth all their effort to remain steadfast, focused, and obedient as they walk in accordance with your holy word. Although not perfect, their efforts, combined with your holy powers, allow them to continue walking the path that you have established for them.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily and pray for the areas in their lives that do not align with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

WHO ARE YOU SERVING?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened to see this blessed morning, they give all praise to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another opportunity to get it right.

Despite their shortcomings, you give them the strength to push through obstacles, knowing and trusting that you will continuously direct their steps, even when they lose their focus.

Father, help all to continue to push through their adversities by knowing that you will never forsake them. Help them to not succumb to feelings of defeat or worthlessness when their burdens expand instead of dissipating. Help them to realize that if they depend upon you through their trials and tribulations, they should also maintain such dependence with you when they are happy, at peace, and full of joy.

Father, help all to realize that you should be their daily focus. Help them to search their souls daily to determine whether they are wholeheartedly serving you or man.

“Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly, as though you were working for your real master and not merely for humans. You know that your real master will give you an inheritance as your reward. It is Christ, your real master, whom you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24

WORKING OUT FOR THE GOOD

Father, I am giving you all praise for another blessed day in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have made it through this blessed day, they lift up your holy name through your Son, Jesus Christ, for continued guidance. They know that if it had not been for you, they would not be able to smile. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not come to fruition, they pray a prayer of thankfulness for allowing them to make it through it all.

In addition, they praise you for your one-of-a-kind, never-ending love. They glorify you for always coming to their rescue. Despite their continued trials, you allow them to push through, ultimately resulting in increased faith, harmony, happiness, and peace beyond understanding.

They can rest assured in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that whatever you have purposed for them will always come to fruition.

They now realize that their experiences in life were strategically designed to help them grow more spiritually and mentally, depending solely on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that when they truly let go and let God, they will recognize your abundant love and never-ending mercy. Help them to know that despite what they have endured or will endure, you have all power, and all things will continue to work out for the good of those who love you.

“For the moment, all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:11

IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they think about the blessings you continuously bestow upon them. They realize that if it had not been for your grace and mercy, they would not be present in the body. If it had not been for your agape love, they would not have been able to push through their mental and physical pain. If it had not been for your sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, they would not have the capability to repent of their sins.

Therefore, they worship you in spirit and in truth and praise your holy name. They repent of their sins and pray for discernment, guidance, direction, peace, happiness, and joy.

Father, help all to understand that all blessings come from you and through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to worship you daily, in spirit and in truth.

“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24

Because of your grace and mercy, they have life and have it more abundantly. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to answer their prayers and direct their path.

When they are desolate, you embrace them with your never-ending love, peace, and joy. When they are doubtful, you bring their answered prayers to memory. When they are tired, you provide mental and physical rest.

Father, help all to understand that you are always present in their lives; therefore, establish and maintain a relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Help all to further understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the answer to all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, disappointments, failures, as well as trials and tribulations. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God and pray continually and consistently as they walk in faith, knowing that you are always present and your love is neverending.

“Because of the LORD’s great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore, I will wait for him.”

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to give you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all praise for another opportunity to get it right. They understand that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are present in the body.

Father, help all to understand that there will be tests as well as temptations. However, keep their faith, knowing that you are “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
